Prologue
So you've all heard of the once great warlock that help build the strong king that brought magic back after the cruel king Uther Pendragon. It took a lot but this great warlock never gave up. Who is this so called 'great warlock' you ask? Well it's none other than the famous Merlin!
You see Merlin was faced with the greatest dangers throughout his life time, nearing deaths more times than one can count, but he couldn't leave Arthur. Never. He once and many times after that announced that he would gladly die saving Arthurs life. Arthur he respected him more than a master should for his master even if teasing was his only way of showing that affection.
This tale begins 2 years after the marriage of Arthur and Gwen, much had happened and Gwen had shown herself to be more than a capable Gwen to help rule Camelot, in fact it was said she was one of the greatest. Merlin, well merlin was still saving Arthur without being caught, which he was most thankful for as he was still to make an excuse for keeping one of the greatest secrets, and a secret that could very well knock the well-established balance that Camelot lived upon.
Many stresses fell upon merlin; Gaius had long fallen sick, with a very deadly disease. Being not only his guardian, but his friend and also his fatherly figure that he had failed to have. This was a big strain merlin, he couldn't cure him, he wasn't skilled enough to and falling into depression was a worry to Arthur, his normally perky friend was empty and emotionless, like an empty shell.
And then the worst happened, Gaius passed in the early hours of the morning with merlin at his side to witness Gaius' last breath. Walking in and standing behind him a comforting hand on merlin's shoulder, Arthur took a deep breath. 'He's in a better place now, he was loyal and the most trust worthy man in Camelot, he will be greatly missed!' Giving one last squeeze on merlin's shoulder he turned on his heel and left merlin to grieve a great loss.
Merlin took Gaius' hand, eyes tear stricken and whispered 'I will never forget you Gaius you're like the father I never had, good bye Gaius'.
Well what do you think i will hopefully continue this i have some ideas on how this story could go! Please review, i won't bite :)
